| only online as of now. I have colleagues but no one to hang out with |
If you are hosting any event on MAL let me know, I'll advertise it here for free :^)  |
| No friends irl though I try to be nice arround people. My bro is mainly my close friend I can say anything to. For a sub five, not much people care to get that close since their is very little to gain from it. You learn pretty quick as a sub five many people will cancel you over the smallest things. This is why the idea of people acting nice is not real friendship in my book. Women generally will have real support groups while men will have a much more limited form of it to none depending on looks. Introversion is a learned behavior from negative social feedback in childhood. While this is a meme it is a useful message to sub fives.  |

| Friends [Przyjaciel] - Only In real life Buddies/other whatever names English and my naitonal language has -> IRL and Online |
| Years have passed and casual friendships is a thing of the past. I don't feel like making new friends. At least not in the real life. I already have a very tight-knitted group of friends. We have known each other for more than a decade and they are basically a second family to me. rohan121 said: Introversion is a learned behavior from negative social feedback in childhood.

| I only have friends online. Irl I'm not at a place where I can have friends. Long story I don't care to write here. |

| @rohan121 I don't know why anyone should compliment my clothes at work. I'm here to work and if they do, I would be most comfortable with women doing it, since they compliment actual styles and piece of clothing, not a casual "you are looking good." And in general, you are making things up how you pretend the world is functioning. Nobody cares about your height, especially if it's not romantic or sexual, people care about someone else attitude, morals and worldviews. Some people are just pretending to be nice because they want something in return, that's not how kindness works. fleurbleue said: What π Sorry but I was born this way. People often mistake introversion (needing more time to recharge after social interactions) for social anxiety. Anyway... I have a little, close friend group of six and some people I like to talk to. Online I like to talk to people, but I wouldn't call them friends. |

| @rohan121 The vast majority of the times it's not about looks, but about people's attitude, sure good looking people might be able to get away with a bad attitude for a while, but generally it doesn't take long to see how ugly they truly are behind the mask |

can confirm, I always carry a measuring tape with me, if someone is trying to make friends with me, I measure their height and then reach into their pants to measure their cock. If I am dissatisfied with the height and size respectively, I immediately proceed to ignore them.

| @Commit_Crime What if they're a grower tho. @Serafos is an online guy whom I think is pretty cool so friended him. I have like 2 friends irl that I still talk to with some regularity. Others just moved onto new stuff or I grew distant, and I also lost a few. |

| @ZakuF_ you need to jerk them off a bit to confirm |

| I have a few people I chat to online often and also some people I hang out with at wrestling shows, but don't know if you can call them friends exactly. |
 |
| I don't have any friends due to my 7 years chronic sacrococcygeal joint pain, everyday is pain (sitting, standing, in the car, ... pain) My best friends: I have a gf (3+ years already) A poodle dog And my giant stuffed dog (8+ years) who sleeps on my queen sized bed (taking 2/3 portion of the bed, like watching TV, and like to complaint) |
 |
| A better question would be if you have enemies. |
  |
| I don't really have any friends, but I have lots of acquaintances. It's very easy to make acquaintances, people you see a lot or chat with, but it's very difficult to make real friends, at least for me. |
| Friendship is a rare thing. You can have countless buddies, but only a handful of true friends. |

| @LoveYourSmile I think it is pretty rad that you know how good his wife/ex-wife is in bed. |

| @philtecturophy Yes, I think pets should also count, but I dunno. Most times I rather feel like a parent than a friend, although it's still a bit in the friend-category. I feel like you have to treat a cat as your equal, then they absolutely adore you (aside when you have to force them to the vet or anything). |
| Both. I enjoy the idea of having people close to me in person, and having some who live in different states or countries. |
i love it when you look at me baby <3   β GROTESQUE - lynch. β |

| @ZakuF_ There's nothing inappropriate here, we just dated a long time ago. I have enough respect and common sense to not get involved with married ladies, and prefer younger ones lol. |

| Yes!! I love having both online and irl friends :) |
| I have friends online and IRL, I don't see my IRL friends as much because we are adults with things to do but I talk to my online buds a lot. |

| I have 4-5 irl friends (friends as in, people I actually hang out with - only 1 is a long friend, the others are casual). Online, I only have 1 real friend (my best friend of 15 years). Depression has made it really difficult to keep up with any other online friends, so all other online friendships have almost entirely fainted. I only message some of them every few months. |

| You really didn't need to call me out like that |
| The poll choices felt a bit limiting, lol. I mean, I have 1 friend IRL that I've known since 6th grade. But I only get to see him every other year or so because I have to fly across the country. I've been chatting with some people online almost every day for years. I'd say I have a lot of acquaintances (such as coworkers and neighbors), a bunch of casual friends (such as gamers in my guild, college friends, and those in my Discord community), 1 close friend (the guy from middle school), and 1 best friend (my girl). I'd like to get more IRL casual and close friends, I spend too much time online as it is, lol. |
| i lost contact old friend 35y and i 25y living in a another city its over another friend at my age is also over it never sent a msg to me the type of friend that if i dont send then he will never will send one back is like whatever you i will never will sent a msg but if you (i) sent one then we keep in touch |
| think i would be quite lonely without friends online and offline. quite lucky to be able to rely on my internet friends to listen to me ramble whenever ive had any issues with my irls/being curious about what im hyperfixing on. |
  my candies:     also known to love the pineapple cat she/they β past sets β myanimelist β letterboxd |
| I don't use Facebook, so I don't have any IRL friends--besides my mom, dad and sister. Facebook is absolutely terrible, for obvious reasons. |
nanajp said: Before I can answer the poll, I would like to hear the OP's (and others') opinions. How do you consider someone a friend? Is it from: 1. How long they've socialized with you? 2. The time you've known each other? 3. How frequent you meet with them? If someone posts good and straightforward replies to your threads on MAL, then they're your friend. |
| Yes, considering I go to university. |
| I only have one friend @Kyonman and he’s the best >.< <3 <3 |
| I have several friends online and offline from school or just forums. And of course my best friend is definitely ^ |
| Yes, Mr Police Officer. I have friends. Who doesn't need friends? |
| Few acquaintances. No close friends after HS |
| Not trying to be a doomer, but I think it is important to seperate the idea of classmate, coworker, acquaintence, and friend. |
|
| I have a lot of people I talk with yeah. I’ve met a lot of good people over the last few years. |
 |
| The only people I interact with online are whom I'm friends with in real life. So I guess I only have irl friends. |
| I don't consider online people friends. But in real life I have 12 friends. |
